Fading Scars: Scars Of The Past
When 'good girl' high schooler Athena falls in love with an ex-convict and bad boy, old family secrets comes back to haunt them and keep them apart.
~~~~~
Living up to her good girl reputation had never been an issue for Athena Brown, all thanks to her overbearing and controlling mother. She has the heart of an angel. Pure at heart, but has a mind full of scars. To her, pain is inevitable. That is until she meets Aiden Tobias Knight. Handsome, cocky, and with a criminal past, he was everything she needed to steer clear of.
Everyone in her town knows about Aiden Knight- the troubled and ex-convict badboy who has anger issues and known for his numerous visits to jail. Those who look into Aiden's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Aiden himself.
But not Athena. As someone who has grown accustomed to pain, she understood him a tad bit better than most people. She saw something more in those alluring green eyes. Something worth fighting for.
Thanks to a school's project and Aiden's sudden interest in her, the two began spending a lot of time with each other and formed an unbreakable bond that unearths secrets and emotional turmoil for Athena and everything she had allowed herself to believe. And soon, their lives became dangerously intertwined in a race against time, lies and deceit.
Twists gets turns, fates became entangled and life become even harder than before.
The closer they get to each other and the more vulnerable they become, Athena has to wonder: is she saving Aiden from his darkness? Or is she pulling him deeper into hers?

Excerpt:
Athena stares ahead into sheer nothingness as the cool evening breeze swept through her body, making her hair stand on end.
Up to yesterday, she was the happiest girl on earth. But now, it's like she has lost all purpose, almost like every living moment makes a living scar. It leaves her bleeding helplessly, because she's all alone.
She should've known happiness is never hers to begin with. She is not to love or to be loved. That's her fate. That's who she's meant to be. A soul that is forbidden to love or fall in love.
Either she accepts this or she keeps getting inflicted with more pain and scars than she already has.

This story is indeed very interesting. The more you read it, the more you want to know what happens next in the story. The way the author has portrayed the story is incredible. All the best to the author.
I read the synopsis of the book and it was enough to make me read the book. This one is definitely going in my library as this is one of the best books I've read so far on this app. The writing style of the author is captivating and the words compliment each other. So far, I'm loving this book.
Wow, this is a really good story! I was bummed out when I got to the end of chapter 6 to find there was no more. The author has really developed an emotionally charged story that I'm sure many readers can relate to. The protagonist is really well developed right from the start as the reader is given insight into her happy but slightly poor family life before her parents separate. I like how the mother is set up as a really unlikeable character, but done in such a way you can somewhat understand her motivations. The characters are all portrayed really effectively and are each unique and have their own quirks. The dialogue reads exactly like real-life speech, adding an air of authenticity to the whole piece and the prose flows really well with some nice vivid descriptions. This book is a must read and I commend the author for their talent and ability to convey such strong emotions in just a few chapters so far.
I can say that the story is a roller coaster one. Though I am a fantasy/action type reader, this even made me enjoy its first person narrations. Splendid choice of narrations and choice of words. I can say your grammar was decent enough for me as I am not an English speaker. You can read Nr_Yet's godly narrations for more insights and other authors for more methaporic and poetic lines. Though the narration was proper for your genre as it was direct and precise. No need for flowery words to play with our tongues. Some may like it, some don't so let the readers say your success. Kudos for a job well done!
I like the girl a lot. You described her really well. And your writing style is amazing. Keep working on it and definitely don't drop it! Good luck!
I really really liked this book and it was well worth the purchase. The characters were so well designed. I have had a lot of time on my hands lately and a lot of books just dont speak to me like this on did.
You are indeed talented. I admire your writing style The way Athena was described makes me want to cry Thumb up to the author for a job well done I love this book
A Good story, success on characters and story background, updating frequency is a success top. Thank to the author for sharing such a nice one...✋✋✋✋✋
A very interesting story! The plot is intriguing, your characters are expressive. You're doing well! I wish you endless inspiration and a lot of great ideas!
Amazing. Thats what this is. A perfect blend of happiness and sadness to keep you needing more. Not to mention the chemistry between Athena and Aiden. The way they are written and the conversations they have. All round amazing!
A very solid story overall. It's a nice change up from the horror stories and magic stories that I see so often on here. I could use something more light-hearted. I really liked the childhood aspects of the story. Keep up the good work author. I would put a bit more description into how the characters look and to describe their feelings. I think that's it. Everything else is spot on.
Interesting story to read, really like the the way the story is going on, looking for the the chemistry between Athena and Aiden spice up a bit more, way to go author.
[img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend] You described her story very well! You definitely have a unique way of writing, I can relate to her somehow, and I wish that her future character development grows! Givin' this a perfect 5!
The author's great attribute is, they provide the questions for the readers that makes them curious enough to read the story. And then they get trapped in those well distanced paras of nicely crafted words, and lost in the story. The story unfolds, enticing plot moves forward and the author promptly goes on answering all those questions plus leaving new ones to edge on the curiosity. That's good. This story is great. It's loaded with potential, do try it. (Dear author, it's just my humble personal opinion, I think you're telling so much and there is not enough show. I mean I got the emotions and all but I had trouble properly imagining it. Creating it in my head. It can be just a problem with me. I might not be understanding the point of view by which you tell the story. Sorry I don't meaning anything bad by sharing this."
